DBArcher Report post Posted April 5, 2004 I was just wondering if anyone has had luck with this technique. I tried it for elk, but I have never tried on Deer. Where should I set up my treestand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galiuro mountain man Report post Posted April 5, 2004 I would set it over water, all animals have to drink. It is a very good method during Aug. because the deer will really need water. Another good method is ground blinds at water, all it takes is about 30 min. of your time. I have personally used both, and prefer the ground blind, because nobodt will steal it. I have had 1 commercial treestand stolen and 2 aluminum home made ones stolen. These were from unit 31, now I hunt 32 and go deep in the wilderness so I dont want to carry treestands with me, so I use ground blinds. One bad thing about ground blinds, use scent free OFF bug spray if the blind is near grass. I was attacked by chiggers last year and itched like crazy for a month. You can get a scent free type with deet that should work good. Hope this helps GMM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted April 6, 2004 Put your treestand up on a ridgline with lots of rubs and scrapes during dec/jan. You will have bucks checking the scrapes. Even mock scrapes will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
